Evan Bouchard's value in trade discussions appears to be linked to his performance, with speculation that any potential deal would start at a price of Darnell Nurse plus one dollar. This indicates that the Oilers may be looking for significant return if they consider moving Bouchard, highlighting his importance to the team's defensive lineup.
